The Order Paper for CAMRA’s 2026 Conference has been published, showing the motions that are up for debate as part of Members’ Weekend.

Now that the Order Paper has been published, members can also submit amendments to motions and emergency motions.

Amendments to motions and emergency motions

Members can now submit amendments to motions on the Order Paper for consideration by Conference Procedures Committee.

Amendments will only be accepted during debate at Conference in exceptional circumstances.

Emergency motions are defined as those where the situation requiring the motion arose after the deadline for submission or ordinary motions (for 2026 Conference, Friday 13 February 2026) and could not have been anticipated before the deadline.

Both amendments and emergency motions should be submitted for consideration at the Conference Procedures Committee meeting on the eve of Conference, (7pm, Friday 17 April 2026 at the Quakers Meeting House, Upper Lattimore Road, St Albans. Please note this is a 5-10-minute walk from the Alban Arena).

Where possible, please submit these in advance of the meeting to Ellie Hudspith, Secretary to Conference Procedures Committee on cpcsecretary@camra.org.uk
